On National Native American Day, we honor the resilience, wisdom, and rich histories of Indigenous communities. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and respecting the diverse narratives that have shaped our world. In education, it’s crucial to provide our students with an understanding of Native histories, not just as a chapter in a textbook, but as a living legacy that enriches our society. Empowering students with knowledge of Indigenous experiences and perspectives fosters empathy and a sense of justice. By weaving these narratives into our educational spaces, we work toward a future that respects and values all voices.

So many important ideas for education in this wonderful short piece.
"I learned these skills by experiencing them as a teacher in development. Teacher preparation programs and schools need to treat teachers the same way we would want to treat our students—with faith in our abilities, confidence in our growth, and compassion for how we show up in what can be a tough world."

Inclusive education isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for preparing students to thrive in a diverse world. Yet, many school curriculums are ill equipped to reflect the richness of the communities they serve. When students see themselves in their lessons, the impact is transformative: 💡 Higher engagement and academic performance 🌍 Greater understanding and respect for different cultures 💪 Boosted confidence and sense of identity At FOBBS, we’re working to make culturally inclusive resources—like our in-app daily quiz on Black Britons —accessible to schools across the UK. These aren’t just resources; they’re pathways to a more equitable and informed future. It’s time for a shift. Students shouldn’t have to wait until university—or beyond—to learn about the contributions of Britons like Mary Seacole, Olaudah Equiano, or Sislin Fay Allen. It's not all doom and gloom though. Some schools are going above and beyond at providing inclusive educational resources in their schools. How is your school ensuring that all students feel seen and valued in the classroom? Let's start a conversation Kevin Buchanan, Gerry Robinson, Likhon Gulam Muhammad, and Chris Deller FCCT. Together, we can shape the future of inclusive education.

Literacy- the key to unlocking life!
We believe every child deserves the chance to succeed, and that starts with being able to read. Through our collaborative efforts on the Literacy and Justice for All initiative, supported by the Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation and the experts at the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy at the Atlanta Speech School, we’re giving children the tools they need for a bright future. From early learning to partnerships with local hospitals and schools, we're setting them on a path to success! 💡Did you know that In Marietta City Schools, the results show that third-grade reading scores jumped five times higher than the state and metro Atlanta averages? On International Literacy Day, we celebrate the power of words and the importance of nurturing even our youngest learners. Through our interactive Learning Spaces and programs that support parents and caregivers, we’re shaping what’s possible for the next generation of readers.

Preparing for American Education Week (Nov. 18-22)📚 American Education Week is just around the corner! This special week is an opportunity to honor the dedication of educators and recognize the contributions of everyone who makes education possible—teachers, students, parents, and support staff. Here are some ideas for celebrating: Invite Families to Participate 👪: Host an open classroom or a virtual session where parents can experience what their children are learning firsthand. It’s a great way to build relationships and foster support. Celebrate Your Support Staff 🌟: Take time to recognize school support staff, such as custodians, cafeteria workers, and office personnel, who are essential to a positive learning environment. Encourage students to make cards or thank-you notes for them. Highlight Student Achievements 📣: Use the week to showcase the talents and growth of your students. Create a "Wall of Achievement" in your classroom or share their accomplishments through a school-wide announcement or newsletter. Teacher Appreciation 🍎: Show appreciation for your fellow educators by exchanging thank-you notes, small tokens, or simply a heartfelt message recognizing their hard work and commitment. American Education Week is a reminder of the incredible impact educators have on shaping the future. How do you plan to celebrate?
